Bursaries

Bursaries are available from age 8 when pupils enter the Prep School. At this stage, we can more reliably assess each child's ability to thrive within our curriculum, ensuring bursary funding supports families throughout their child's time at Aysgarth.

Each family completes an application detailing their financial circumstances (savings, investments, income, property value and monthly outgoings). Depending on this independent assessment, funding can range from 10% to 100% of fees. 

If you're unsure whether you might be eligible, please contact us. We would be happy to discuss your circumstances confidentially and advise on next steps.

Due to the administrative complexities of reliably assessing financial ability to pay, bursaries are not available to overseas families or to those in their first year of living in the UK.

As early as possible. Bursary applications are assessed on an individual basis during the year prior to entry. Funds are limited, so early application is strongly recommended.

Bursaries are awarded based on financial need. However, if your child has a particular talent in academics, sport, music, drama or other areas, this will be considered as supportive evidence for your application.

Bursaries are awarded with the intention of supporting your child throughout their time at Aysgarth. However, we conduct an annual review of every award and support may be adjusted depending on changes in your financial circumstances.

No. All bursary information is kept entirely confidential. Only the Headmaster will be aware of which families receive fee support, ensuring your child is treated exactly the same as everyone else.
